Black Granite Countertops

Popular black granite selections include Black Pearl, which features shimmering flecks of silver and gold, along with other dark granite patterns like Caledonia. CKF offers a wide range of natural granite slabs with varying veining and mineral patterns, so you can view actual slabs during a design consultation to find the best match for your space.

Pricing depends on the specific granite selection, slab availability, and project size. CKF categorizes countertops into Price Tiers A through H based on material and rarity. Exact costs aren't published online since granite is a natural material with variable sourcing costs; a free quote and in-person consultation will provide accurate, project-specific pricing.

CKF offers granite countertops in 1.2cm, 2cm, and 3cm thicknesses. Thicker slabs (2cm-3cm) are most common for kitchen countertops and offer added durability, while thinner 1.2cm options are often used for vertical applications like backsplashes and fireplace surrounds where weight and cost are considerations.

Yes, granite is a natural stone formed under intense heat and pressure, making it naturally heat-resistant and highly scratch-resistant. It can typically withstand hot pots and pans without damage and resists knife scratches better than many other countertop materials, though using cutting boards and trivets is still recommended to preserve the polished finish.

Black granite requires simple daily cleaning with mild soap and warm water or a granite-specific cleaner, and should be resealed periodically to maintain stain resistance. Avoid harsh acidic or abrasive cleaners that can dull the polished or suede finish. Because it's dark in color, black granite naturally hides minor etching and water spots better than lighter stones.
